This is how Tiffany Haddish ended her standup special. I’ve never been so happy to be cursed.

Libraries have always been magical places for me, and over my past ten years as a kindergarten and first grade teacher, I’ve always viewed the school library as a sacred place. When the chance to work as a librarian (at the elementary school that has housed me for almost a decade!) arose, I uncharacteristically let administration know that I would do anything to get the spot. With a little luck and a lot of library magic, the job became mine. Now I have the strange privilege of working with former students and longtime colleagues, most of whom know about my love of books and all things literary, and I’m often asked how I’m handling the change. Is it the dream I hoped for? Is it even what I expected?

Mostly, yes. Building a collection, inviting in speakers, and introducing students to books and research skills is the most amazing way to spend my days. I often pinch myself when I get the rush that comes with finding the perfect series that makes a student’s eyes light up. It’s hard but rewarding work. If anything, I just wish that people would use me more. I get that a lot of reluctance comes from wanting to seem capable, or perhaps even an aversion to burdening the librarian, but helping people is literally what we’re here for!

In honor of National Library Week, I want to share some ways you can love on your local librarian. A good deal of these suggestions require you to take advantage of us, and even though I’m writing from the perspective of the school library, I think many of these would apply to your community institutions, as well. The library is one of the last places around where you can get something for free, and the more you use us, the better shape we’re in!

Poison Control said to keep an eye on it for 6 hours. If I have no blisters or serious irritation then I’ll be okay.

That’s what I get for not sticking with my natural remedies. :(

[coolsideofpillo]

aka14kgold replied to your post: I had a slow drain. None of my natural remedies...

Call Poison Control. They can typically help you take care of whatever problem.

Thanks. I’ll do that.

[coolsideofpillo]

I had a slow drain. None of my natural remedies were working, so I broke down and bought Drano. I was the Dual Force Foamer Clog Remover. I poured it in the sink. 

I forgot the remove the drain stopper. I tried to pull it out with a glove. Instead of putting my hand in the glove, I used it like a napkin. Some of the foam got on two fingers. 

I rinsed my hand under cold water for 5 minutes. The bottle says seek medical attention if it gets on you skin. It wasn’t the liquid though, just foam. I should be fine right? I don’t want to pay for quick care if I don’t need to.

@leftennant and I were just bemoaning the lack of rom coms out there in Hollywood and how it’s probably stimmying the careers of certain actors who would kill it in that niche. 

This seems like such low hanging fruit being ignored. With relatively low budgets you can afford the occasional failure compared to the thud Justice League just made. If you picked a random group of ten women and asked them to brainstorm ideas they’d come up with solid ideas to be spun into box office gold.

Per example:

Kat Dennings is the quirky girl trekking across New Zealand following her lifelong love of all things Tolkein. She meets Chris Evans and dismisses him as a frat bro, but it’s love at first sight for him. Can he persuade her he’s the real deal?

Of course he can. I’m still buying a ticket to this.

Hayley Atwell has to resist the charms of Sebastian Stan for 30 days to win a million dollars. But if he can persuade her to kiss him, he wins the million dollars. Who’s going to win? Can she resist him?

Who gives a fuck, we know there’s going to be a kiss and they’ll split the money, just take my money already.

Daisy Ridley and Tessa Thompson are stranded in an airport during a blizzard and have nothing to do but get to know each other.

I don’t even need you to tell me the plot of this one, because I already booked my seat.

Tell me Tumblr–what rom com ideas would you like to see and who would star in them?

America Ferrera needs a date to her family’s insane holiday party, so she puts out an ad on Craigslist for a bad boyfriend, so they’ll never ask her about him again. Tom Hardy is the bad boy she hires. Only, he’s actually pretty sweet.

Marisa Tomei is doing great as a single mom. She just closed a huge deal at her job, and her kid is surprisingly chill for a teenager, from what she’s read. Enter: her ex, Gerard Butler, freshly transferred back to NYC from London, and still in love with her. Can she admit she’s still in love with him?

Matt Bomer hates visiting Middle America on his book tours, even though he loves his fans. That is, until he attends a panel discussion where the moderator is local celebrity writer, Channing Tatum.

I was talking about having them do a remake of Harry met Sally but with Melissa McCarthy as Harry and Mindy Kaling as Sally.

Ewan MacGregor as the drama teacher at a private school in Manhattan who is feuding with but secretly pines for Chiwetel Ejiofor, the music teacher.

We all KNOW the answer is yes, but don’t you want to see it happen regardless?

[wunderlass]

Nicole Beharie and Tom Mison as bounty hunters after the same target. They have completely different styles and end up teaming up to bring their quarry down. Will they learn to get along, even fall in love? 

I mean, did you see the chemistry they had together in Sleepy Hollow?

Working title: Granny’s Last Gas.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in a remake (again) of the Parent Trap.

–

Donald Glover is a bored, jaded former-wunderkind. Zoe Saldana is the enforcer sent to rough him up for using his skills against a mob-run casino. She completes her “errand,” but when he’s in the hospital, recovering, someone starts sending him complex math puzzles. The puzzles form a message.

–

Washed-up rock star Lee Pace has done everything, seen everything, fucked everything. His manager despairs, and begs him to attend a retreat in Sonoma, California. He goes to Sonoma, but never makes it to the retreat once he meets gregarious, no-nonsense pâtissier, Colin Farrell, and his irascible veterinarian wife, Julia Styles.

–

Michele Pfeiffer is a witch who accidentally gives a customer’s love potion to her downstairs neighbor, Michael Keaton. She doesn’t know that her apprentice, Saorise Ronan, messed up the batch, and it was a dud. Now he’s wooing her, and she thinks it’s all fake (except it’s totally working).

[meleedamage]

Paul Rudd and Ryan Reynolds play two hotshot detectives who hooked up at last year’s Christmas party. They swore that it would only happen once and that they’d keep things casual. Now that they’ve landed the case of their careers, they’ll have to work together and keep things professional or risk losing it all.

[wunderlass]

JOHN CHO AND KAREN GILLAN!!!

struggling comedian karen finally catches a break in the form of a mentor based on and played by margaret cho. they take a trip to korea for the big family reunion. karen is respectful and mostly quiet. she’s reluctant to start anything with handsome cousin john, but they have definite chemistry. i think it ends ambiguously, but hopeful.

The Monterey Bay is doing its best impression of our sea nettle exhibit! This year has seen a return of the classic sea nettles blooms we experience outside of El Niño cycles. These sea nettles were filmed inside the Monterey harbor a few weeks ago, pushed in by the tides and currents.
